Note 60 — Chapter X · THE REIGN OF LOUIS XI: THE TRIUMPH OF THE CROWN

[“As soon as the king saw the duke enter his chamber, he could not conceal his fear, and said to the duke, ‘My brother, am I not safe in your house and in your country?’ And the duke answered, ‘Yes, sire; and so safe that if I saw an arrow coming towards you, I would put myself in front to shield you.’ And the king said to him, ‘I thank you for your good will, and will go whither I have promised you; but I pray you that peace may be from this time sworn between us.’”—Olivier de la Marche.h]
